Storageraider223 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hello Everyone, I am new here. I am having issues booting my unraid sever. The sever has been set up previously to this issue and restarted before. For some reason I can see my thumb stick in the boot list as the primary and only boot device but when I boot nothing happens. My specs are below. I have tried: Resetting the BIOS Other USB ports (only on mb) Quote Link to comment
Gragorg Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Are you using UEFI boot? If so rename the EFI- directory to EFI on your USB. Edited September 15, 2021 by Gragorg Quote Link to comment
Storageraider223 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 @Gragorg yes believe I am using UEFI. How do I rename the file? I can't see the file. But my partition manager shows that there are files there Quote Link to comment
Gragorg Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It’s a directory not a file. It appears you have no files on your unraid stick. Did windows detect any errors on your USB when you plugged it in? Also do you have a backup? Quote Link to comment
Storageraider223 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 No I did not get any notifications when I plugged the stick in. I am not sure if the os is backed up but I know the parity is. There is a good chance it was. Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If you've been running MyServers, then a backup exists. If you haven't, then you'll need to re-setup the flash drive, and reassign the drives and talk to @SpencerJ to get the key sent to you again. But, assuming that you didn't format the flash somehow, I wouldn't trust it. Set up a new one Quote Link to comment
Storageraider223 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 @Squid We have decided to start fresh, and that got me a new install of unraid. I have the key I am going to be working with a friend to try and recover my data tomorrow if that is possible. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Your data should be intact as long as you do not make the mistake of assigning a data drive to a parity slot. You may find this section of the online documentation to be of use. Quote Link to comment
